In this episode of Break the Routine, Marius Iepure sits down with Anthony Rutherford ; dancer, performer, presenter and entrepreneur from Newcastle. Anthony opens up about growing up between football culture and ballroom, the resistance he faced as a young male dancer, and how dance gave him the confidence, discipline and communication skills to build a life far beyond one label.

They talk about stage work, TV and radio, fatherhood, creativity versus perfection, the value of public connection in dance, and how personal hardship can completely reshape your view of success, purpose and legacy.
